hope everyone had a great surrender day! what? you say you don't know what surrender day is? well, it was on 9 april 1865 that robert e. lee surrendered the remnants of the army of northern virginia to general ulysses s. grant, thus formally ending the civil war. as a celebration, many reenactments, speeches, and dork-like notations by history dorks like myself are made all over the nation. additionally, throughout much of the south, the confederate flag is flown today at half mast. yes, really. some are still mourning their loss. still.
